Mammalian Gliding, Vertebrate Natural History, and  Ecological Modeling

I am interested in the evolution of mammalian gliding,  locomotor performance, and the functional morphology of gliders.  Most of my graduate students work on questions pertaining to locomotor performance, habitat  use, and comparative morphology of gliding vertebrates.  However, my students  are independent and highly motivated, and have explored topics in  reptilian  thermoregulation, avian and mammalian community structure, systematics,  biogeography, and geographic variation.
